This study evaluates cross-protection of Ebola and Sudan vaccines against Bundibugyo virus using a surrogate challenge model in mice, finding partial protection and suggesting non-neutralizing mechanisms play a role.

This study identifies conserved phosphorylatable residues in motif G of viral RdRps that inhibit polymerase activity and suggests they as targets for antiviral drugs.

This paper identifies a molecular marker for sex determination in Syrian hamster pups using placental tissues, achieving 85% specificity in sex classification.

This paper develops a high-throughput imaging platform for RV-C research and antiviral drug discovery, identifying inhibitors through compound screening.

This study shows that antigenic imprinting limits neutralizing antibody responses to new SARS-CoV-2 variants in hamsters, suggesting challenges for vaccine efficacy against emerging subvariants.

This study shows that topical antibiotics reduce skin bacteria in mice, leading to faster Zika virus disease progression and higher viral loads in multiple tissues.
